That's worth a damn and treats you well

He's a fool, you're just as well

Hope it gives you hell

Trapped

Chaz

Sonny smiles at me over her cappuccino. "I really like hanging out with you, Chaz."

"Yeah," I agree, smiling. "I like hanging out with you, too."

We smile at each other.

I start getting anxious. If I don't ask now, when will I? My leg starts bouncing up and down under the table. I tear the corner off the paper place mat and begin to carefully rip it to shreds.

I glance up at Sonny. She's watching me and tapping out a rhythm on the edge of the sticky table. When our eyes meet, she grins.

"Um, I was wondering…" I bite my lip and look up at her. "You know that dance that the studio is having?"

"Yeah. I already bought my dress for it."

I nod. "Yeah, well… I was wondering if you'd want to go with me?" Even to me, my voice sounds unsure.

Sonny stares at me for a moment. Her eyes cloud for a moment, and I start to think she's going to turn me down. But then a fierceness passes through her face, and she smiles. "I'd love to."

Three Days Earlier

Chad

As soon as the last of the Randoms filter out, I pull out a chair and fall into it, cradling my head in my hands.

Chaz sits down in the seat across from me. "So what happened with Sonny?"

I laugh dryly. "It doesn't matter now. She thinks I'm a jerk." I stop talking for a moment. "Actually, she thought I was a jerk before, but now I have no chance with her."

Chaz is silent for a moment. "So you're dating her?"

I glance up at him. "I don't know. But dude, you can't have her."

He laughs, but when I look at him, he looks slightly disappointed. "Maybe I'll ask Tawni out then."

I shake my head at him. "Man, that's sick."

We laugh.

Our director comes in. He's holding a mega-phone.

He walks up to us and looks at us for a minute. Then he lifts his mega-phone and yells, "STOP STUFFING YOUR FACES AND GET DOWN TO THE STUDIO!"

Chaz and I jump up and begin jogging down to the studio, our director following us and yelling, "ONE, TWO! ONE, TWO! HURRY UP, MEN! YOU'RE SLOWER THAN SNAILS! HUT, TWO! HUT, TWO!"
